Is There a Superstition in Diet?

Let me write, you decide whether diet is a superstition :)

• Ab's are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. Since abdominal muscles are made in the kitchen, not in the gym, then let's do sit-ups in the kitchen!

If you cannot reduce your fat percentage below a certain level, even if you do sit-ups for hours to get six-packs, it will not help. .

• If I stay hungry, I will lose a lot of weight!

In case of long-term hunger, the metabolic rate slows down. and the body responds to protective long-term calorie restriction. The body reduces the number of calories it burns, which slows down weight loss. (The hunger I mentioned is not short-term like Intermittent Fasting hours, of course it is much longer-term.)

• If the calories I take in are less than the calories I lose, I will definitely lose weight!

Unfortunately, calorie input - output calculation cannot answer all our questions about gaining or losing weight. The energy we get from the foods we consume may not be all the energy contained in the food. Also, it is not possible that we can calculate the thermic effect of food and exercise.

• If we lost weight by eating grass all the time, cows would be as thick as crochets!

If you are one of those who say that the diet consists of grass and I don't like it at all, first of all, I would like to point out that the diet does not include drinking cabbage juice 3 times a day. Then I said that cow metabolism is not equivalent to human metabolism.

• I just want my belly to melt, my legs never get thinner!

I wish there was such a thing as 'leg thinning diet' or 'bagel melting diet'. Which area you gain weight from or which area loses weight first depends on your genotype.

• I am a dietitian, what kind of sports should I have legs like a football player?

Physical activity must be included in diets to prevent muscle loss, preserve existing muscle, and prevent the metabolic rate from slowing down. Don't worry, no one can become Hercules by walking 45 minutes a day.

• I lost 9546823kg with only golden strawberries and green coffee!

No food alone causes weight gain. Just as it is not ep, it does not help burning fat on its own. Do not expect a miracle from a single food or drink, and most importantly, do not use so-called nutrients whose long-term effects on human health are unknown.

• I can use as many light products as I want!

Sugar and fat are restricted, but they still have calories.

• Fried bread is calorie-free!

Bread exposed to heat loses water, but its calories do not change.

• What is a diet? I can drink vinegar water in the morning and it will pass!

Drinking vinegar with high acidity in the morning, when the acid level is already high, has no effect on fat burning, and may also disrupt the acidic balance of your stomach. It may have an indirect effect by keeping you only partially full.

• If I exercise every day, I will lose more weight!

The sports effect continues on the body for 48 hours. And resting the muscles is important in increasing the effectiveness of the sport you do.

• You are pregnant, you need to eat for 2 people!

The expectant mother should eat healthy enough to meet her vitamin, mineral and caloric needs; It is quite sufficient for the baby's nutrition.

• Chocolate is harmful!

It has high cocoa content and fat content. Low chocolate is actually beneficial when eaten in the right proportions, contrary to popular belief.

• Whether it's soda or mineral water, what's the difference!

Soda is produced artificially by adding carbon dioxide to water. It is poorer in minerals. Mineral water is obtained naturally from groundwater.

• Fats have been transformed into muscle!

First Fat is burned, then muscle is built. Conversion is out of the question. The building blocks are completely different biochemically.

• I eat until I fall asleep, but I still can't gain weight!

If you consume dough, sugar and oil to gain weight, you will become a skinny person with a big belly, like a worm that swallowed a roasted chickpea. Eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and quality proteins, and do cardio. Taking a break from your training for a while and focusing on weight training will help.

• Coffee causes cellulite!

What causes cellulite is the sugar, milk powder, cream and syrup in coffee.

• Fish cannot be eaten with yoghurt!

There is a protein called histamine in fish and yoghurt. Histamine increases in spoiled or stale fish. Allergic reactions and poisonings may increase with increasing histamine. When consumed together, the risk increases as this vitamin also increases. The reason for this is that if the fish is not spoiled and fresh, it can be consumed with yoghurt.

• Brown bread / sugar, white bread / sugar are worlds apart!

Brown bread is richer in vitamins and minerals, contains higher fiber, and raises blood sugar more slowly and evenly than white bread. But bread is bread and sugar is sugar; Whatever the color, be careful!

• Hot water supports fat burning!

Water temperature It has no effect on fat burning. The body spends more energy trying to convert the temperature of the water into body temperature. Warm - hot water leaves the stomach later. It indirectly supports weight loss as it will provide a longer feeling of fullness.


 

Diets should not be temporary and belly fat should not be permanent. Have a healthy and happy week, away from excuses and superstitions..
